The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X1000S is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø250mm bore and 1000mm stroke, G1 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its large-bore tie-rod build delivers high thrust and drops into standardized ISO 15552 mounting on heavy automation.
Delivering 24543 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder is built for heavy-duty automation. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers, ensuring high rigidity under large-bore thrust, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. Because this is a Ø250 bore, TPU seals are not available; instead, the front-cover packing and buffer gasket are NBR, with a Viton H option for 0-150 C high-temperature environments.
Equipped with a built-in piston magnet (-S), the unit supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing. It features a 50 mm piston rod, a G1 air port, and an M42x2.0 rod-end thread. For practical sizing, plan for about 14726 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts roughly 1251 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

SGC-family variants: SGC (double acting), SGCD (double rod), SGCJ (adjustable stroke). Mounting: LB / FA / FB / CA / CB / CR / TC / FTC / TCM1 / TCM2. Seals: TPU (blank) / Viton H / NBR N.
Provides the 24543 N push at 0.5 MPa required to form thick-gauge steel plates in automated mechanical press lines.
Raises full 1251 kg unit loads through a 1000 mm vertical cycle, relying on external guides to stabilize the extended rod.
Shifts heavy mold halves with 34360 N thrust at 0.7 MPa, using the -S magnet to trigger CMSG reed switches at stroke ends.
When sizing this 1000 mm stroke model, consider the adjacent bores in the SGC family: the Ø200 provides 15708 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the Ø250 is the largest available, offering a maximum theoretical force of 5006 kgf at 1.0 MPa. At this long 1000 mm extension, large-bore side loads can induce rod bending, so external guide rails or rod-end support are strongly recommended to prevent premature seal wear.
This SKU includes the -S magnet for direct sensor mounting. Note that a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; the adjustable 60 mm air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke end. To suspend a load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This Ø250 bore model features a G1 air port and generates 24543 N push / 23562 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 34360 N push / 32986 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 5006 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position detection, but the cylinder cannot hold a load unpowered; an external rod lock is needed. Its ISO 15552 mounting interface ensures dimensional interchangeability with standard large-bore fixtures.
